Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des assemblages de structures tubulaires, en particulier des constructions tubulaires, telles que des mobiliers urbains, des équipements de sport et de loisirs, ainsi que des échafaudages et des matériels d'exposition, et a pour objet un collier d'assemblage pour de telles structures (FR 2 779 782).The present invention relates to the field of assemblies of tubular structures, in particular tubular constructions, such as urban furniture, sports and leisure equipment, as well as scaffolding and exhibition equipment, and relates to a necklace. assembly for such structures (FR 2 779 782).

Actuellement, l'assemblage d'éléments tubulaires de ce type, au niveau des noeuds, est généralement effectué au moyen de colliers en deux parties, enserrant les tubes au niveau du noeud par pincement au moyen de boulons traversant lesdits colliers.Currently, the assembly of tubular elements of this type, at the nodes, is generally carried out by means of two-part collars, enclosing the tubes at the node by pinching by means of bolts passing through said collars.

Il peut également être prévu un montage direct entre deux tubes au niveau d'un noeud, au moyen d'un boulon ou encore d'éléments d'assemblage à accrochage avec verrouillage de l'assemblage au moyen de vis de pression. Par ailleurs, on connaît, dans le domaine des matériels d'exposition, notamment des étagères, des dispositifs d'assemblage sous forme de boules présentant un certain nombre de trous borgnes pouvant coopérer chacun avec un tube ou analogue, lesdites boules étant simplement emboîtées sur l'extrémité des tubes.It can also be provided direct mounting between two tubes at a node, by means of a bolt or fastening assembly elements with locking of the assembly by means of pressure screws. Furthermore, in the field of exhibition equipment, in particular shelves, assembly devices in the form of balls having a number of blind holes each cooperating with a tube or the like, said balls being simply fitted onto the end of the tubes.

Ces différents dispositifs d'assemblage de noeuds connus présentent, cependant, un certain nombre d'inconvénients, à savoir, dans le cas de colliers, de ne permettre que la réalisation de noeuds présentant un nombre réduit de tubes et, dans le cas d'utilisation de boules ou analogues, de ne pas permettre un blocage des extrémités de tubes dans lesdites boules. En outre, la prévision de colliers ne permet pas une obtention d'une esthétique compatible, par exemple, avec la réalisation de certaines structures, en particulier dans le domaine des loisirs ou de l'équipement de magasins.These various knot assembly devices known, however, have a number of disadvantages, namely, in the case of collars, to allow only the realization of nodes having a reduced number of tubes and, in the case of use of balls or the like, not to allow blocking of the ends of tubes in said balls. In addition, the provision of necklaces does not allow obtaining an aesthetic compatible, for example, with the realization of certain structures, particularly in the field of entertainment or store equipment.

Il est également connu, par FR-A-2 694 583, un noeud d'assemblage pour structures tubulaires qui se présente sous forme de deux demi-coquilles assemblées entre elles par boulonnage et munies d'évidements correspondants et/ou de perçages pour l'insertion et le blocage d'extrémités d'éléments tubulaires. Ce noeud d'assemblage permet de réaliser un assemblage, d'une part, des extrémités de plusieurs éléments tubulaires au moyen des demi-coquilles, les moyens de serrage des coquilles entre-elles servant simultanément au blocage desdites extrémités au niveau des évidements correspondants et, d'autre part, le montage de l'extrémité d'autres éléments tubulaires perpendiculairement au plan des premiers avec maintien en position par des moyens d'assujettissement spécifiques. EP-A-0 965 766 décrit, en outre, une solution de maintien sans jeu d'éléments tubulaires montés dans de tels noeuds.It is also known, from FR-A-2 694 583, an assembly knot for tubular structures which is in the form of two half-shells assembled together by bolting and provided with corresponding recesses and / or holes for insertion and locking of ends of tubular elements. This assembly node makes it possible to assemble, on the one hand, the ends of several tubular elements by means of the half-shells, the clamping means of the shells between them simultaneously serving to block said ends. at the corresponding recesses and, secondly, mounting the end of other tubular elements perpendicularly to the plane of the first with holding in position by specific securing means. EP-A-0 965 766 describes, in addition, a holding solution with no set of tubular elements mounted in such nodes.

Cependant, ces noeuds d'assemblage connus sont souvent inadaptés à un montage d'un plus petit nombre d'éléments tubulaires, à savoir uniquement de deux ou de trois éléments. Ce problème ne trouve actuellement aucune solution économique, chaque problème de montage devant être résolu par une solution particulière faisant à chaque fois appel à des pièces d'assemblage spécifiques et donc à des colliers spécifiques à chaque configuration de structure, de sorte que le nombre de pièces détachées nécessaires à des séries d'assemblages divers est relativement élevé et que le coût de revient individuel de ces colliers en est obéré.However, these known assembly nodes are often unsuitable for mounting a smaller number of tubular elements, namely only two or three elements. This problem currently does not find any economical solution, each mounting problem to be solved by a particular solution making each time using specific assembly parts and therefore to specific collars to each configuration of structure, so that the number of Spare parts needed for various assembly series is relatively high and the individual cost of these collars is oboe.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients, en proposant un collier d'assemblage, pour structures tubulaires, en particulier des constructions tubulaires, telles que des mobiliers urbains, des équipements de sport et de loisirs, ainsi que des échafaudages et des matériels d'exposition, permettant une adaptation à un grand nombre de variantes d'assemblage avec mise en oeuvre d'un minimum de pièces individuelles de base.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by proposing an assembly collar for tubular structures, in particular tubular constructions, such as street furniture, sports and leisure equipment, as well as scaffolding and equipment. exposure, allowing adaptation to a large number of assembly variants with implementation of a minimum of individual basic parts.

A cet effet, le collier d'assemblage comprend les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.For this purpose, the assembly collar comprises the features of claim 1.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à des modes de réalisation préférés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, et expliqués avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue éclatée en perspective d'un collier conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'une variante de réalisation de la pièce de base du collier, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective représentant le montage de différentes formes de structure sur un poteau par mise en oeuvre du collier conforme à l'invention en différentes variantes de réalisation.
The invention will be better understood, thanks to the following description, which refers to preferred embodiments, given by way of non-limiting examples, and explained with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a collar according to the invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the base piece of the collar, and
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the mounting of different forms of structure on a pole by implementation of the collar according to the invention in different embodiments.

La figure 1 des dessins annexés représente un collier d'assemblage, qui est essentiellement constitué par une pièce de base 1, formant un demi-collier de fixation sur un poteau de support 2 ou analogue et munie d'au moins un logement ouvert 3 de réception de l'extrémité d'un élément tubulaire 4 s'étendant dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du poteau de support 2, par une pièce 5 complémentaire de la pièce de base 1, formant également un demi-collier de fixation sur un poteau de support 2 ou analogue et coopérant avec ladite pièce de base 1 pour leur serrage sur le poteau de support 2 par l'intermédiaire de boulons de serrage correspondants 6 et par au moins une partie 7 de fermeture du logement ouvert 3 de réception de l'extrémité d'un élément tubulaire 4 et de serrage de ladite extrémité dans ledit logement 3.FIG. 1 of the attached drawings shows an assembly collar, which essentially consists of a base part 1, forming a half-fixing collar on a support post 2 or the like and provided with at least one open housing 3 of receiving the end of a tubular element 4 extending in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the support pole 2, by a part 5 complementary to the base part 1, also forming a half-fixing collar on a support post 2 or the like and cooperating with said base part 1 for their tightening on the support post 2 by means of corresponding clamping bolts 6 and by at least one part 7 of closing the open housing 3 for receiving the end of a tubular element 4 and clamping said end in said housing 3.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la pièce de base 1 et la pièce complémentaire 5 présentent des plans de joint symétriques à coopération de forme consistant en des jupes périphériques 1', 5' et des bossages 1", 5" et les bords parallèles délimitant le logement ouvert 3 de la pièce de base 1 sont sous forme de nervures coopérant avec des rainures correspondantes parallèles des bords de la partie 7 de la fermeture dudit logement ouvert 3. Ainsi, le montage du collier d'assemblage conforme à l'invention peut être réalisé très rapidement, les pièces 1 et 4 de ce collier se positionnant l'une en face de l'autre par enclenchement de leurs jupes périphériques de bossage des plans de joint. Il en est de même en ce qui concerne la mise en place de la partie 7 par rapport au logement ouvert 3.According to one characteristic of the invention, the base part 1 and the complementary part 5 have symmetrical joint-shaped joint planes consisting of peripheral skirts 1 ', 5' and bosses 1 ", 5" and the parallel edges defining the open housing 3 of the base part 1 are in the form of ribs cooperating with parallel parallel grooves of the edges of the portion 7 of the closure of said open housing 3. Thus, the assembly of the assembly collar according to the invention can be realized very quickly, the parts 1 and 4 of this collar being positioned one opposite the other by engagement of their peripheral skirts bosses of the joint planes. It is the same with regard to the implementation of part 7 compared to open housing 3.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les pièces de base 1 et complémentaires 5 sont assemblées entre elles par l'intermédiaire de boulons 6 les traversant au niveau de leurs plans de joint, la tête 6' et l'écrou 6" de chaque boulon étant avantageusement logés dans des évidements de forme correspondante desdites pièces 1 et 5.According to another characteristic of the invention, the base parts 1 and complementary 5 are assembled together by means of bolts 6 passing through their planes of joint, the head 6 'and the nut 6 "of each bolt being advantageously housed in recesses of corresponding shape of said parts 1 and 5.

Par ailleurs, la partie 7 de fermeture du logement ouvert 3 de réception de l'extrémité d'un élément tubulaire 4 et de serrage de ladite extrémité dans ledit logement 3 est avantageusement fixée sur la pièce de base 1 par l'intermédiaire d'un boulon 8 traversant ladite partie 7 et la pièce de base 1, au niveau du logement 3, ainsi qu'un perçage correspondant 4' de l'élément tubulaire 4, la tête de vis et l'écrou de ce boulon 8 coopérant avec des évidements de forme correspondante prévus respectivement dans le corps du logement 3 de la pièce de base 1 et dans la partie 7 de fermeture. Ce mode de réalisation permet d'assurer simultanément le serrage et le positionnement de l'élément tubulaire 4 dans le logement 3. Un tel montage d'un élément tubulaire 4 unique sur un poteau de support 2 au moyen d'une pièce de base 1, d'une pièce complémentaire 5 et d'une partie de fermeture 7 correspond à la représentation I de la figure 3.Moreover, the part 7 closing the open housing 3 receiving the end of a tubular element 4 and clamping said end in said housing 3 is preferably fixed on the base part 1 by means of a bolt 8 passing through said portion 7 and the base part 1, at the housing 3, and a corresponding bore 4 'of the tubular element 4, the screw head and the nut of this bolt 8 cooperating with recesses of corresponding shape respectively provided in the housing body 3 of the base part 1 and in the closing part 7. This embodiment simultaneously ensures the clamping and positioning of the tubular element 4 in the housing 3. Such a mounting of a single tubular element 4 on a support post 2 by means of a base part 1 , a complementary part 5 and a closing part 7 corresponds to the representation I of FIG.

De manière connue, les boulons 6 et 8 sont avantageusement constitués par une vis à tête cylindrique pourvue d'un moyen d'actionnement en creux et par un écrou polygonal. Ainsi, la tête de vis et l'écrou de chaque boulon 6 et 8 peuvent être entièrement noyés dans la matière des demi-colliers au niveau des plans de joint.In known manner, the bolts 6 and 8 are advantageously constituted by a cylindrical head screw provided with a hollow actuating means and a polygonal nut. Thus, the screw head and the nut of each bolt 6 and 8 can be completely embedded in the material of the half-collars at the joint plane.

Conformément à une variante de réalisation de l'invention, et comme le montre la figure 2 des dessins annexés, la pièce de base 1 peut être munie de deux logements ouverts 3 de réception de l'extrémité d'élément tubulaire 4 s'étendant dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du poteau de support 2, l'un au moins de ces logements ouverts 3 s'étendant suivant un angle par rapport aux plans de joint de ladite pièce de base 1, chaque logement ouvert 3 étant muni d'une partie de fermeture 7 (figure 3). Ainsi, comme il ressort de la figure 2 et de la variante de montage III représentée à la figure 3, il est possible de réaliser avec une seule pièce de base 3 et avec une pièce complémentaire 5 un montage simultané de deux éléments tubulaires 6 sur un poteau 2, lesdits éléments tubulaires 6 s'étendant suivant des plans verticaux différents.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, and as shown in Figure 2 of the accompanying drawings, the base part 1 may be provided with two open housing 3 for receiving the tubular element end 4 extending into a plane perpendicular to the axis of the support pole 2, at least one of these open housings 3 extending at an angle with respect to the joint planes of said base part 1, each open housing 3 being provided with a closing part 7 (Figure 3). Thus, as can be seen from FIG. 2 and from the mounting variant III shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to produce with a single base piece 3 and with a complementary piece 5 a simultaneous assembly of two tubular elements 6 on one side. post 2, said tubular elements 6 extending in different vertical planes.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention et comme il apparaît plus particulièrement sur la représentation II de la figure 3 des dessins annexés, il est également possible de prévoir une pièce complémentaire 5' identique à la pièce de base 1. Dans un tel cas, le montage du collier ainsi réalisé sur un poteau 2 permet, par mise en oeuvre du logement ouvert 3 prévu dans chaque pièce 1 et 5' et des parties de fermeture correspondantes 7, de fixer deux éléments tubulaires 6 en alignement.According to another embodiment of the invention and as it appears more particularly in the representation II of Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings, it is also possible to provide a complementary part 5 'identical to the base part 1. In such a case, the mounting of the collar thus formed on a pole 2 allows, by implementation of the open housing 3 provided in each piece 1 and 5 'and corresponding closure portions 7, to fix two tubular elements 6 in alignment.

Conformément à une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention et comme le montre aussi la figure 3 des dessins annexés, par les représentations IV et V, il est également possible de réaliser une pièce complémentaire 5"' pourvue de deux logements ouverts 3 de réception de l'extrémité d'élément tubulaire 4 s'étendant dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du poteau de support 2, l'un au moins de ces logements ouverts 3 s'étendant suivant un angle par rapport aux plans de joint de ladite pièce de base 1, chaque logement ouvert 3 étant muni d'une partie de fermeture 7. Une telle pièce complémentaire 5"' peut donc être identique à la pièce de base 1 munie de deux logements ouverts 3, décrite plus haut et permet de réaliser, en coopération avec une telle pièce de base 1 à deux logements ouverts 3, un collier d'assemblage pour le montage de quatre éléments tubulaires 4 (représentation V), alors que sa coopération avec une pièce de base 1 à un seul logement ouvert 3 permet l'obtention d'un noeud à trois éléments tubulaires 4 (représentation IV).According to another variant embodiment of the invention and as also shown in FIG. 3 of the appended drawings, by the representations IV and V, it is also possible to produce a complementary part 5 "'provided with two open receiving housings 3 the tubular element end 4 extending in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the support pole 2, at least one of these open housing 3 extending at an angle to the joint plane of said base part 1, each open housing 3 being provided with a closing part 7. Such a complementary part 5 "'can therefore be identical to the base part 1 provided with two open housings 3, described above, and makes it possible to produce , in cooperation with such a base part 1 with two open housings 3, an assembly collar for mounting four tubular elements 4 (representation V), whereas its cooperation with a base part 1 with a single housing o uvert 3 makes it possible to obtain a node with three tubular elements 4 (representation IV).

Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de réaliser un collier d'assemblage, en particulier pour mobilier urbain, équipements de sport et de loisirs etc..., permettant, avec mise en oeuvre d'un nombre limité de pièces un montage esthétique d'un grand nombre de variantes de structures tubulaires sur des poteaux de support. Du fait que beaucoup de variantes d'assemblage sont possibles avec un très petit nombre de pièces, le coût de ces dernières peut être réduit et les frais de stockage et d'approvisionnement peuvent également réduits.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to make an assembly collar, in particular for street furniture, sports and leisure equipment etc ..., allowing, with implementation of a limited number of parts an aesthetic assembly a large number of variants of tubular structures on support posts. Because many assembly variants are possible with a very small number of parts, the cost of these can be reduced and the costs of storage and supply can also be reduced.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
